Lot Description

The PCGS label identifies both collectors.  My mentor, Elton Dosier, frequently reminded me that the Witham collection “had more trueUNCs than any other.”  Here is a lovely, original 1834.  Caky luster rolls through the silver-grey fields and across Liberty's cheek.  A beguiling halo of gold and aqua iridescence circles the stars.  The reverse, with slightly darker toning, is equally lustrous and original.  In all, a nice coin with an impressive provenance.  Lot 4933 in Heritage's August 2010 sale of selections from the Witham collection.Estimate: $1,200 to $1,500
